About VSO Bahaginan

VSO Bahaginan is a development organization committed to fighting global poverty and disadvantage through a wide range of volunteer development programmes.

We are a member of the VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) Federation, an international development organization that works through volunteers. We promote volunteering to fight global poverty, by supporting people to share skills, creativity and learning with communities around the world. Through personal commitment and practical action, volunteers help build a fairer world.

We began our contribution to global development in 1999 when VSO established the South-South Volunteering Programme in the Philippines.

VSO Bahaginan contributes to VSO's vision, purpose and values by recruiting, training and matching volunteers from the Philippines to placements that meet the requests of our overseas partners.

VSO volunteers work in partnership with people in more than 30 developing countries, contributing to development goals in Education, HIV and AIDS, Disability, Health and Social Well-being, Secure Livelihoods and Participation and Governance. VSO Bahaginan also supports a wider scope of volunteering development initiatives such as National Volunteering, Youth Volunteering and Business Partnerships.

In the Philippines, VSO works with our network of returned volunteers and local groups to build awareness and understanding of international cooperation.
